NLC recognizes that when it comes to mitigating against, adapting to, preparing for and offering rapid and sustained response to extreme weather events, local governments are on the front lines and provide critical services. We are currently exploring a line of research to help support local leaders in the areas of climate adaptation and resilience and would greatly appreciate your time in completing this brief questionnaire.
